Impact LaVine will miss his seventh straight game due to a left ankle sprain, and he can be considered doubtful ahead of Thursday's game against the Celtics until the Kings offer an update on his status.

To be re-evaluated in one week LaVine (ankle) will be re-evaluated in one week, James Ham of ESPN 1320 Sacramento reports.

Impact LaVine is progressing in his rehab after spraining his left ankle in a loss to the Timberwolves on Dec. 14, though he'll need at least one more week to recover. With the 30-year-old shooting guard remaining on the shelf, Nique Clifford should continue to see increased playing time.

Ruled out for Tuesday LaVine (ankle) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Pistons.

Impact LaVine is continuing to rehab from a left ankle sprain and hasn't taken the court since Dec. 14. The team has yet to provide another update on his availability moving forward, outside of the report that he'll remain sidelined Tuesday, so his status for Saturday's game against the Mavs should come into focus later in the week.

Out for at least one week The Kings announced Tuesday that LaVine (ankle) will be re-evaluated in one week, Jason Anderson of The Sacramento Bee reports.

Impact After exiting Sunday's game against the Timberwolves, LaVine has been diagnosed with a moderate left ankle sprain and will need to miss at least Sacramento's next three contests. With the star guard out of action, Nique Clifford appears to be the most likely choice to replace LaVine in the starting lineup. It's also possible Keon Ellis will re-enter the rotation for the time being.

Won't return Sunday LaVine will not return to Sunday's game against the Timberwolves due to a left ankle injury.

Impact LaVine twisted his left ankle early in Sunday's game, and while he attempted to play through it, ultimately, he bowed out during the third quarter. LaVine will end his evening with 10 points (4-8 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 1-1 FT), one rebound, one assist and two turnovers in 16 minutes, and for now, he should be considered questionable for Thursday's game in Portland.

Inconsistent season continues LaVine recorded 16 points (6-13 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds, three assists and one steal across 38 minutes during Monday's 116-105 loss to the Pacers.

Impact LaVine got off to a torrid start in 2025-26, scoring at least 30 points in five of his first six games, but the campaign has quickly become an erratic one since then. The star guard is struggling to do much outside of the scoring department, averaging 17.3 points, 3.1 rebounds, 2.6 assists and 0.9 steals in 32.3 minutes per contest across his last 16 games.
